Any familiar with an orange tickseed coreopsis? I tripped over the plant at a local nursery, and bought 2. I put them in FULL sun at my house. They are spectacular. When I say orange, its bright orange just like a chrysanthemum. Any one know what the name of this variety is called?

We plant coreopsis all the time. The variety we plant is bright yellow. Deer dont eat them!

Limerock Dream is a new cultivar that turns a bright orange in mid summer

I planted the Limerock at my house last year and it didn't return this year. I lost 5 on a customers property as well. Awesome plant though. I'm fond of the Tequila Sunrise Coreopsis as well and the Jethro Tull is one I use quite a bit with good success.
I also remember seeing one called superman coreopsis this year....that one was new to me.

Coreopsis Creme Brule is one that stays in bloom the longest as well
I use creme brulee a lot, tequila sunrise is nice and also zagreb.
